Hi from Newbie MRH

Quote:Former Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic, 34, has announced his retirement from professional football.

The Serb, who won five Premier League titles and the Champions League in his eight-year spell at Old Trafford, says injuries have forced his retirement.

Vidic left Inter Milan by mutual consent at the beginning of January after failing to make an appearance for the Serie A side this season.

"The time has come for me to hang up my boots," he told ManUtd.com.

"The injuries I have had in the last few years have taken their toll.

"I would like to thank all the players I have played with, all the managers and staff I have worked with, and say a big 'thank you' to the fans for their support over the years."

Vidic joined Inter Milan on a free transfer in July 2014 and made 28 appearances for Roberto Mancini's side in his first season, but did not feature for the Nerazzurri this campaign following surgery on a hernia in August.

Victor Valdes is delighted to have left Manchester United to sign for Belgian side Standard Liege on loan.

Manchester United announced yesterday that they had agreed a deal with Standard Liege for Valdes to join up with the Belgian club for the remainder of the season.


And the move has quickly been pushed through, with Valdes taking to social media to express his pleasure at now being at Standard Liege.

The Spanish goalkeeper posted a photograph of himself at what is now his new home ground.

so funny.

One Manchester United fan trolled Manchester City over their Champions League history (or lack of) by prank calling the club.

You may have seen yesterday’s video of a City fan calling the Red Devils’ ticket office to request a seat at Old Trafford for the last 16 of the competition, just a few days after they’d been knocked out.

It seems the latest prank call on United’s ‘noisy neighbours’ was in revenge for the initial video and it’s just as brutal.

The supporter asks for a chance to see the Champions League trophy on City’s stadium tour only to be told, obviously, that they haven’t won it yet.

It’s their reaction that makes the clip…
